Emma is on the Air

WNBC reporter Ida Siegal makes her debut as a chapter book
author with a hilarious look at one girl's journey into journalism,
mystery-solving, and fame -- or at least two out of those three!

This is Emma Perez, and I'm ON THE AIR!

Today at lunch, my friend Javier found a slimy worm in his
hamburger. It was extra gross! Now everyone wants to know how the worm got
in there. Someone might even get in trouble! The school needs my famous
reporter skills to solve the case!

Emma Perez has been looking for some big news to help her become
a famous reporter. Javier's wormburger is perfect-people need to know what
happened! Emma is ready to find witnesses, gather clues, and file her report.

Tune in for the first edition of

EMMA IS ON THE AIR!

Party Drama!

Emma is on the
Air #2

Today at school, Sophia, Javier, and I were working on our
extra-awesome outfits for the costume party. We had the best idea ever and were
going to win the contest! But now Sophia's costume is missing. Where could it
be? Did someone take it on purpose?

Emma and her friends weren't ready for so much party drama, but
if they work together to figure out what happened, they just might save the
day!

It's time for a new edition of EMMA IS ON THE AIR!
